This document recounts the authors’ experience in participatory conservation processes that seek terrestrial biodiversity connectivity. It synthesizes at least a decade of research and practice. Its documentation of this experience hopefully can contribute to the conservation and restoration of ecological connectivity in other parts of Latin America and the world.

This book offers a collection of photographs of landscapes, natural scenery, animals and plants, taken by nine photographers who bring an intense and thorough exploration of sky, sea and land, from a myriad of different angles and perspectives. Each chapter suggests geographical routes for exploring Costa Rica's wild lands.

However, these cloud forests are among the most threatened forest ecosystems in the work. In this film scientists try to unravel the secrets of these amazing ecosystems and understand how forest protection works in Costa Rica.
